I would recommend it to many students, yet it is not for everyone. Some departments are amazing (math, I have heard good stuff about geology) but some are very mid. Yet, they have an amazing campus, many activities and many opportunities when it comes to jobs, internships etc. It is a small college and you never forget that but if you want to be in a small community, in a beautiful location, you are willing to put the work (classes harder than the average university) then Pomona is the place. Also, if you do care about the name and the prestige, Pomona should not be on your top choices
